Reflecting on 250 Years of Freedom and Community

Eric Brown  A Message from President & CEO Eric Brown

Celebrating 250 Years of America

This year marks a historic milestone for our nation as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. For two and a half centuries, our country has been shaped by the enduring values of freedom, opportunity, perseverance, and community. As we reflect on this remarkable journey, we are reminded that these same principles are at the heart of the credit union movement.

America’s story has always been one of people coming together to build a stronger future. In much the same way, credit unions were founded on the belief that individuals are stronger when they work cooperatively to support one another. Every day, our members demonstrate the power of that idea through their commitment to family, neighbors, and the communities we proudly serve.

As we commemorate this special anniversary, we honor the generations of Americans whose vision and determination helped build the nation we know today. We also celebrate the role our members play in shaping the future. Whether you are buying your first home, saving for retirement, or teaching the next generation the value of financial responsibility, you are helping write the next chapter of America’s story.

The 250th birthday of our nation is more than a celebration of the past—it is an opportunity to look ahead with optimism, to believe. While challenges will always arise, the American spirit of resilience and innovation continues to inspire confidence in what we can achieve together.

Thank you for placing your trust in our credit union. We are honored to serve you and remain committed to helping you achieve your financial goals for years to come.

As we celebrate this historic occasion, we wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day and a memorable year of reflection on America’s 250 years of progress.

Notice to our Membership

Notice to our Membership

Richard BlueFor those of you that may not be aware, our president, Richard G. Blue, passed away on July 5, 2021. We know you would join us in sending our deepest sympathies to his wife, Shawn, and daughters, Coleen and Crystal, as well as all the members of his family.

How does one close a chapter of a CEO/president who gave 36 years to the White Eagle Credit Union? What words accurately express our gratitude to the man that led this credit union from a tiny office on State Street in Augusta to an organization of three full-service locations in Augusta, El Dorado and Newton?

We don’t have them. But we believe that collectively as a board of directors, employees and members of the White Eagle Credit Union, we could fill pages in his honor. We are grateful and are determined to carry out the legacy of not only Rick Blue, but all those who have come before him for the last 86 years. From the humble beginnings of seven men meeting under an oak tree in Augusta in 1935, to what we are today.

The Board of Directors, in accordance with the Succession Plan of White Eagle Credit Union, has named Jennifer L. Pazzie as Interim President. She will continue with her duties as Chief Financial Officer as well as the presidency at this time. Our Management Team has over 175 combined years of experience with this credit union. They are up for the task and look towards the future with the combined resolution of fulfilling our mission statement of providing “dedicated and outstanding personal service, the latest technology and products, and empowering our members to improve their financial well-being.”
